Be it known that I, HERMANN WEIssEN- BURGER, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, and a resident of Oannstadt, in the Kingdom of Wiirtemberg, Germany, have in= vented a new and useful Improvement in Apparatus for the Sale of Liquids, (for which I have-obtained patents as follows: in Germany, No. 48,019, dated November 24, 1888; in Italy, Vol. XXII, No. 24,720, Vol. XLIII, No. 304, dated February 14, 1889; in France, No. 195,085, dated December 31, 1888; in Belgium, No. 84,476, dated December 31, 1888; in Spain, No. 9,191, dated February 4, 1889; in Luxemburg, No. 1,070, dated December 29, 1888, and in Switzerland, No. 500, provisional patent, dated March 1, 1889,) of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is an apparatus for the sale of liquids, more particularly of perfume, in the shape of spray; and an essential feature of the invention is the application of the coin fed into the apparatus as a medium for transmitting pressure to the bag of the spray-diffuser.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 and 2 are vertical sections. Fig. 3 is a cross-section along lineXY, Fig. 1, of the improved apparatus as inclosed in a casing. Figs. 4 and 5 are vertical sections of the upper portion of the device, on an enlarged scale; and Fig. 6 is a cross-section along line V W, Fig. 4.

The improvedapparatus consists of three principal parts, namely:

First, the frame A, containing the coin-feed cylinder 1', with the coin-rest b, is held, in a suitable position by means of the two helical springs s, surrounding the rods 25.

Third, the cross-piece O, likewise screwed onto the frame A, and carrying an india-rubber bag 0, with tube 0, which leads to a spraydiffuser J, with spout z, situated on the liquidreservoir R.

I Wish it to be understood that the part three ofthe apparatus is immaterial regarding my invention, that this part is merely specified to explain the action of the apparatus, and that any other suitable device for the direct production of spray may be substituted therefor.

The three principal parts above referred to are inclosed in a casing G, having corresponding openings for the passages E and E; The passage E may also be omitted, if it is desired that any coin inferior in size to the prescribed coin, and consequently not detained by the bow g, shall not. be ejected or refused,butforfeited.

' The pressing-rod d, movable in the frame A and extending through the casing, is round at the upper end and carries a knob K, screwed onto it. It is furthermore surrounded by a helical spring f, serving to return the rod into its normal position after having been pressed down. The upper part of the rod,with helical spring, is surrounded by two tubes guided telescopically in one another. The pressing-rod is beveled at its lower extremity, for the purpose of causing the coin, after the apparatus has been in action, to fall through a corresponding aperture, provided at e e in the frame A, into the coin-receptacle.

The apparatus is operated as follows: The coin dropped in and detained by the bow g lies free on the rest I) and directly below the pressing-rod d. On pressing down the knob K sufficiently the rod d comes first in contact with the coin m, and in its progress causes the cylinder 0", with rods ft and plate 19, to descend, thereby compressing the india-rubber bag 0 and actuating the spray-diffuser J.

The coin, having, passed with its upper edge the rim 6 eof the frame A,is laterally ejected, owing to the beveled shape of the lower end of the rod, and the action of the apparatus is discontinued, the various parts being re turned into theirnormal position by the action of the Springs 3 s and f.

hat I claim is- 1. The combination, in an apparatus for the sale of liquids, of a pressing-rod (l, coin-rest 1), cylinder 7', rods it, plate and bag c,whereby the coin is allowed to form a medium for transmitting pressure to the latter, substair tially as specified. I

2. The combination, in an apparatus for the sale of liquids, of rods 1 1, plate 19, a movable
